Re: [UUPoly-L] Can Unitarian Universalism Change

["David Hall" <airsafe1@comcast.net>]

Yes it can. I just counted again and we have 289 people who listed the names
of 159 congregations, these are current or past members. Our list includes
over 400 names of members/past members/inquirers/donators/etc. There are
many names who only list CLF.

For those of you on this list who are not members of UUPA, now would be a
good time to join and let us know what congregation you attend. We really
need your support. If you are a former/lapsed member, we need you to renew
and continue to financially support our work.

Alan ,    Dave Hall, treasurer of UUPA looked up all the congregations that
have or had members who joined UUPA in the past 10 years and came up with
this number.   This came about during a series of letters to UUPoly-l
telling where each of us was from and our congregation.  I actually have his
note somewhere as I plan on using it in a workshop for my congregation.
And I tend to believe Dave.   So it looks like there are lots of us out
there.
